Rise Up

Hello!

As I finished up my last little bit of homework today I realized just how different this has all been from my Ball State.

In order to get an A in the classes through SNHU, you must get at least 930/1000 points. In one class I have 928.16 and I am still waiting on one grade. In the other, I already have 935 points and I'm still waiting on three grades. I think it's safe to say I will still have a 4.0! It's crazy to still have a 4.0 GPA after three terms. Especially if you were to see my transcripts from Ball State. I was on academic probation more often than not and when I left my GPA was below 1.80...

My life is so different now. I am really happy with how things are going. My self-confidence has always been one of my biggest weaknesses. So the fact that I am actually proud of myself is kind of a big deal. I have kept As in all of my classes so far, I am an officer in two school clubs and very involved in a third, and I have just applied to start writing for The Odyssey for SNHU. I also saved enough money to get a new laptop finally!

Like I mentioned, I am an officer now in two different clubs for school. I am an engagement officer for the book club, and an event officer and engagement officer for the psychology club. I even hosted my first event last month. It was an art show for the book club called "Thanks-Reading" and it actually went really well! I love being involved in these clubs. It's been a great way to meet new friends and to keep me being motivated and productive.

I am excited to be on break but I am really excited for my classes next term! I am taking Forensic and Legal Psychology and Anatomy and Physiology. Forensic psychology is my concentration so I've really been looking forward to this class. The classes opened up on Blackboard yesterday and I already started looking through the stuff. It looks really interesting! I can't remember the last time I was this happy about my classes. I loved the two I took this term as well, World Mythology and Humanities. They were very interesting and I had a lot of fun doing my projects. I am so glad I went through with this. Going back to school was an excellent decision!

I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! And happy holidays to all!
